<p>This section describes how to acquire and build llvm-gcc 4.2, which is based
|
|
on the GCC 4.2.1 front-end. Supported languages are Ada, C, C++, Fortran,
|
|
Objective-C and Objective-C++. Note that the instructions for building these
|
|
front-ends are completely different (and much easier!) than those for building
|
|
llvm-gcc3 in the past.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><p>Retrieve the appropriate llvm-gcc-4.2-<i>version</i>.source.tar.gz
|
|
archive from the <a href="http://llvm.org/releases/">LLVM web
|
|
site</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It is also possible to download the sources of the llvm-gcc front end
|
|
from a read-only mirror using subversion. To check out the 4.2 code
|
|
for first time use:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm-gcc-4.2/trunk <i>dst-directory</i>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>After that, the code can be be updated in the destination directory
|
|
using:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>svn update</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The mirror is brought up to date every evening.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Follow the directions in the top-level <tt>README.LLVM</tt> file for
|
|
up-to-date instructions on how to build llvm-gcc. See below for building
|
|
with support for Ada or Fortran.
|
|
</ol>

|
|
<p>Building with support for Ada amounts to following the directions in the
|
|
top-level <tt>README.LLVM</tt> file, adding ",ada" to EXTRALANGS, for example:
|
|
<tt>EXTRALANGS=,ada</tt></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are some complications however:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><p>The only platform for which the Ada front-end is known to build is
|
|
32 bit intel x86 running linux. It is unlikely to build for other
|
|
systems without some work.</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>The build requires having a compiler that supports Ada, C and C++.
|
|
The Ada front-end is written in Ada so an Ada compiler is needed to
|
|
build it. Compilers known to work with the
|
|
<a href="http://llvm.org/releases/download.html">LLVM 2.7 release</a>
|
|
are <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html">gcc-4.2</a> and the
|
|
2005, 2006 and 2007 versions of the
|
|
<a href="http://libre.adacore.com/">GNAT GPL Edition</a>.
|
|
<b>GNAT GPL 2008, gcc-4.3 and later will not work</b>.
|
|
The LLVM parts of llvm-gcc are written in C++ so a C++ compiler is
|
|
needed to build them. The rest of gcc is written in C.
|
|
Some linux distributions provide a version of gcc that supports all
|
|
three languages (the Ada part often comes as an add-on package to
|
|
the rest of gcc). Otherwise it is possible to combine two versions
|
|
of gcc, one that supports Ada and C (such as the
|
|
<a href="http://libre.adacore.com/">2007 GNAT GPL Edition</a>)
|
|
and another which supports C++, see below.</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>Because the Ada front-end is experimental, it is wise to build the
|
|
compiler with checking enabled. This causes it to run much slower, but
|
|
helps catch mistakes in the compiler (please report any problems using
|
|
<a href="http://llvm.org/bugs">LLVM bugzilla</a>).</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>The Ada front-end <a href="http://llvm.org/PR2007">fails to
|
|
bootstrap</a>, due to lack of LLVM support for
|
|
<tt>setjmp</tt>/<tt>longjmp</tt> style exception handling (used
|
|
internally by the compiler), so you must specify
|
|
<tt>--disable-bootstrap</tt>.</p></li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>Supposing appropriate compilers are available, llvm-gcc with Ada support can
|
|
be built on an x86-32 linux box using the following recipe:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><p>Download the <a href="http://llvm.org/releases/download.html">LLVM source</a>
|
|
and unpack it:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="doc_code">

|

|
|
tar xzf llvm-2.7.tgz

<p>or <a href="GettingStarted.html#checkout">check out the

|

|
|
</pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>Make a build directory <tt>llvm-objects</tt> for llvm and make it the

|
|
|

cd llvm-objects
|

</pre>
|
|
</li>
|

|
|
|
|
<pre class="doc_code">
|
|
../llvm/configure --prefix=<b>/usr/local</b> --enable-optimized --enable-assertions
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you have a multi-compiler setup and the C++ compiler is not the
|
|
default, then you can configure like this:</p>
|

<pre class="doc_code">

CXX=<b>PATH_TO_C++_COMPILER</b> ../llvm/configure --prefix=<b>/usr/local</b> --enable-optimized --enable-assertions

<tt>--enable-assertions</tt> with <tt>--disable-assertions</tt>.</p>
|

</li>
|
|

|
<pre class="doc_code">
|

|
|
|

<li><p>Configure llvm-gcc (here it is configured to install into <tt>/usr/local</tt>).
|

The <tt>--enable-checking</tt> flag turns on sanity checks inside the compiler.
|
|
To turn off these checks (not recommended), replace <tt>--enable-checking</tt>
|
|
with <tt>--disable-checking</tt>.
|
|
Additional languages can be appended to the <tt>--enable-languages</tt> switch,

for example <tt>--enable-languages=ada,c,c++</tt>.</p>
